Just makes no sense.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am about a decade from when I want to retire, so what is happening now is vital to that plan. In the last 6 years my wife and I have managed to triple our family income through both of us going back to school and getting degrees and better paying jobs. I did 20 years in the Marines and had to basically start from scratch when I got out. Since getting out 9 years ago I finished my bachelors and masters as well as two certificate programs and last year got my PMP. My wife went to nursing school and has now been a floor nurse for 5.5 years. I say all this to say we worked our asses off to get to where we are now and I am not going to wish for bad things to happen to our country as they will be bad for me as well.
For the first time in our lives we have a substantial investment portfolio that plays a large part in our retirement plans. And now I am a bit obsessed with it, checking it daily and offering "ideas" to my financial planner (who also happens to be my golf instructor!).
And you think that I would sacrifice all of that to save face on a fucking internet forum filled with partisan zealots? Who the hell would even think of such a thing?
This is my voting record for my adult life...
Johnson - 2016
Johnson - 2012
Barr - 2008
Badnarik - 2004
Browne - 2000
Perot. - 1996
Clinton - 1992
Bush I - 1988
Reagan - 1984
If someone had put a gun to my head and made me pick between Trump and Hillary I would have chosen Trump as at least with him there was the possibility of something good happening.
The only thing I care about when it comes to the Fed Govt these days is that the White House and the Senate are controlled by different parties, I couldn't care less which has which.
I am very critical of Trump's plans as I disagree with most of them and think they are bad for me and the country. I disagreed with the tax cut as it just added more money to the debt my children and grandchildren will have to deal with.
I disagree with his trade war as I think it is a losing battle and I think tariffs are nothing more than government interference in the free market of our country. Tariffs work great for socialist economies, less for for free market capitalism.
But hey, you go right on thinking I want bad shit to happen..
I was speculating on why you were freaking out.
Nothing in your post, actually challenges what I said.
Except for the stupid idea that I want my retirement fucked up just to save face on an Internet forum filled with mindless partisan zealots.
Other than that...

It would explain your odd overreaction.
People often act stupid, when they are emotionally invested.
You are too damn cute...you lie about me and then whine that I over reacted to you lie!
I didn't lie. I speculated about your reasons.
It was my opinion.
Your overreaction was well before that.
And I note that, again, you are feeling a need to get personal. This is an odd issue to be a prick about.
